The Jekyll & Hyde detective agency must solve a locked-room mystery in this festive installment of the series. A tribute to classic Golden Age crime novels which is perfect for fans of Stuart Turton and Lucy Foley.

When music-hall comedy duo Rolly Daconey and Irina Matei are threatened by a mysterious blackmailer, they turn to the Jekyll & Hyde detective agency for help. But the agency is experiencing turmoil and, unbeknownst to Muriel Carew, Henry Jekyll is ever more reliant on the elixir that transforms him into the brutish Edward Hyde. 

Still, there’s nothing like a good case to clear the air, and the investigation soon points towards Lady Goodram’s winter artists’ retreat. But once Henry and Muriel arrive at Gaunt Manor, they’re trapped by heavy snow, and they find themselves at the centre of a group of bickering performers, stage magicians and inventors whose long-standing rifts and petty grievances threaten to turn ugly. 

To make matters worse, a body is discovered – and the last person with whom the murder victim was seen alive was Edward Hyde. How can the detective agency get to the bottom of the case when their very presence puts everyone at risk? 

A thrilling locked-room mystery featuring the most unusual detectives in the business.

PRAISE FOR JEKYLL & HYDE: CONSULTING DETECTIVES



A wonderful concept, beautifully executed. Delightful and enthralling in equal measure. Replete with a delicious Victorian atmosphere, as thick as a pea-souper.-Jeremy Dyson



Jekyll & Hyde: Consulting Detectives is a fast-paced gothic thriller that is relentlessly engaging, entertaining, and (most important of all) terrific fun.-Tom Mead



Highly enjoyable, terrifically good fun, very well paced, and full of relish for Stevenson's original story.-JS Barnes, author of Dracula's Child



Riveting, ingenious, original. I kinda wish I'd thought of this myself!-Adam Christopher, New York Times bestselling author



Tim Major has come up with one of those "damn it, I wish I'd thought of that" concepts: Henry Jekyll as a dissipated Sherlock Holmes to Edward Hyde's demented Dr Watson. But this splendid novel is more than just a cool idea; it's a rip-roaring, dark-hearted tale that yokes a cunning murder-mystery plot to the Gothic horror of Stevenson's famed novella. The sequel can't come too soon.-James Lovegrove
